LES
MISERABLES IS CAST ENTIRELY INTERRACIALLY.
For
possible future replacements in the currently running tour:
Jean
Valjean: 35-40s. Sings to B (high lyric baritone or tenor with strong low
notes). A poor peasant who rises to affluence, he has great natural nobility
and dignity. A powerful figure, ideally a large man with a character of
operatic size and passion. The voice needs to have a pop/rock sound or a
classical sound of extraordinary textual clarity.
Javert:
Baritone, sings to G. Policeman who relentlessly hunts Valjean. Ideally a large
man. The ultimate “law and order” figure. Obsessed, to the point of
irrationality, with a rigid and merciless moral code. He too is a character of
operatic size and passion. Both belt voice and classical can suit this role but
must have a darker quality than Jean Valjean.
Thenardier:
Late 30s-40s. Strong comic character role. A crooked innkeeper, later a petty,
amoral thief. Greedy, irreverent, selfish, boorish, vulgar. Baritone, sings to
F sharp.
Marius:
20s. High baritone (sings to A) with a strong bottom (to A). A member of the
revolutionary student movement. Attractive and romantic but in a sensitive,
19th century “byronic” way.
Enjolras:
20s-early 30s. High baritone (to G sharp/A) very strong singer. Charismatic
political figure. Leader of the revolutionary movement.
Fantine:
Late 20s, early 30s. Belt up to C, sings to E flat. Poor factory girl,
struggling to support her fatherless daughter. Later is a pauper, a prostitute,
a consumptive and a ghost. Earthy and poignant. Although is finally defeated by
circumstances she should appear to be strong and a survivor. She puts up a
valiant fight against the horrors of her life.
Cosette:
18-25 (the younger the better). Fantine’s daughter (first seen as and played by
a child) delicate, elegant, vulnerable and beautiful. Falls in love with and
later marries Marius. Soprano (to high C) but a light, young “floating” sound,
without heavy vibrato.
Eponine:
An enormous and beautiful belt voice, to C in belt (sings to E flat). Daughter
of the Thenardiers but in no way behaves like them. Fired by an unrequited love
for Marius. Small, gamine, waif-like. Hasn’t learned to disguise her emotions;
wears her heart on her sleeve.
Madame
Thenardier: 30s-early 40s. Tough, sharp, coarse, boorish, vulgar. Strong
character comedienne role. Belter.
Gavroche:
Boy, age 7 - 11. 52” tall or less. Spunky street urchin. Lots of
personality. Sings very well.
Young
Cosette and Young Eponine: Girls, age 7 - 11. 50” tall or less. Sweet innocent
waifs. Pretty soprano voice.

Manager Sports Information & Statistics - ESPN
Manager Sports Information
& Statistics at ESPN – a job unlike any other … and we need a person with a
skill set unlike any other.
Do you have a passion for
sports? Not just following along as a fan, but studying and understanding the
statistical nuances of the game and the scorekeeping rules. And not just for
your favorite sports, events, leagues and players – but for compelling subjects
across multiple sports and countries. We’re looking for an expert in “content,”
someone who can understand and support story lines for media across all
platforms.
Have you noticed the “Next
Level” content on ESPN and ESPN.com, or read our Stats & Information blogs
on ESPN.com? Are you the kind of fan who has filled notebooks with stats or
wondered if there were databases where you can search and sort for the data
that enriches your fan experience? Do you search for patterns, trends and
insights in data – in an effort to either quantify performance or predict
future outcomes for players and teams? “Stat Geek” is not a derogatory term in
our world … it’s high praise, and an apt description for the kind of team
members you would be supervising and guiding.
Do you find yourself surfing
the web, seeking out data sets or discussion groups who are brainstorming
around the latest techniques or ideas in the area of advanced analytics? Do you
know the names Bill James, Dean Oliver or John Hollinger?
Does the idea of working on
the cutting edge of technology excite you? Is finding a solution part of your
game, whether it’s solving puzzles or managing urgent situations? Are you
someone who has to investigate everything and ask why and how about all aspects
of work flow, structure and process? If you’re excited by the notion of
combining cutting-edge technology with some of the richest sports data sources
in the world, and you’re enthused by the idea of applying that in a dynamic,
deadline-driven newsroom environment, then this might be the job for you.
But wait … Even if you
possess all of those traits, the most important aspect of the job still
remains: Growing and developing people.
We are committed to investing
the time and care to coach and teach our staff, developing them as people, and
building successful professionals for one of the world’s largest sports media
companies. We believe that great support, honest, straight-talk feedback and
holding people accountable is foundational to our success.
What other traits are
necessary? Yes, there’s more. A well-developed business acumen is helpful. Our
managers think for themselves, and must weigh “return on investment” as we
assess the scope of our editorial coverage and strategize about the development
of new software applications.
Responsibilities Provide
regular feedback and conduct performance reviews for direct reports. Develop
S&A’s next group of leaders by working with direct reports to ensure there
is a steady stream of elite performers working up the ladder for consideration
for future supervisory or managerial positions. Working in concert with
upper-level management, react to and solve issues, suggest and address
redeployment of resources as events develop and communicate changes and updates
to all ESPN platforms. Take a lead role in improving processes for accurate
data intake and work with the Technology
department as new software is developed to accomplish those tasks. Analyze
and refine standards for proper technique and ensure newsroom staff is fully
trained and up to date. Make decisions on a nightly basis as the news operation
monitors feeds, identify when there
are issues with feeds and step in to manually build feeds when necessary.
Ensure the accuracy of content in a real-time basis. Orchestrate and plan
newsroom coverage of individual sports by collaborating with stakeholders from
across the company, including Studio Production, Digital Media and
International Production. Run point on various projects within the newsroom.
Become proficient in newsroom technical applications and processes.
Basic Qualifications: Must be
able to provide full availability for this position which will include nights,
weekends and holidays
Preferred Qualifications:
Candidates should have minimum 5 years in Internet, television or print sports
news production, with several years managing a combination of staff, contract
and freelance staff to form a cohesive unit. Strong people management skills
and a demonstrated ability to hold staff accountable to stringent standards.
Thorough knowledge of a wide variety of sports and proper statistical and
scorekeeping procedures. Demonstrated commitment to accuracy.
Ideal candidates will have a
demonstrated ability to: Make decisions quickly and correctly in pressure situations. Communicate
clear priorities to staffers in a fast-paced environment. Take proactive action
in a newsroom environment. Spanish-language writing and speaking skills are
preferred.
Preferred Education: College
Degree or equivalent
Required Education: High
School Diploma or equivalent
